Using the oven
The oven is supplied with an exclusive system
whichproducesanaturalcirculationofairandthe

energyconsumptionarereducedtoaminimum.
During cooking steam may be produced which
can be released when opening the oven door.
Thisisabsolutelynormal.
However, always stand back from the
ovenwhenopeningtheovendoorduring

- Heatthusreachesallpartsoftheovenevenly

ensuresrapideliminationofmoistureandthe

- The possibility of cooking on several shelf
heightsmeansthatyoucancookseveraldiffer-

- Naturally the oven can also be used for
cooking on just one shelf. In this case you

- In addition, the oven is particularly
recommended for sterilizing preserves,
cooking home-made fruit in syrup, and for

On baking:
Cakes and pastries usually require a medium
temperature (150°C-200°C) and therefore it is
necessary to preheat the oven for about 10
minutes.
